1. Overview

 

  A. Industry

 

  (1) Industry characteristics and growth potential

 

  - TFT-LCD technology is one of the most widely used technologies in the manufacture of flat panel displays and the demand for flat panel displays is growing rapidly. The flat panel display industry is characterized by high entry barriers due to rapidly evolving technology, capital-intensive characteristics, and the significant investments required to achieve economies of scale, among other factors. There is strong competition between a limited number of players within the industry and production capacity in the industry, including ours, is being continually increased.

 

  - The demand for LCD panels for Notebook Computers & Monitors has been closely related to the IT industry cycle. The demand for LCD panels for TVs is growing with the start of HDTV broadcasting and as LCD TV are expected to play a key role in the digital display market. There is competition between TFT-LCD and PDP technologies in the area of large flat TV products. In addition, LCD panel markets for applications, such as mobile phones, PDAs, medical applications and automobile navigation systems, among others, are growing steadily.

 

  - The average selling prices of our display panels have declined in general and are expected to continually decline with time irrespective of industry-wide fluctuations as a result of, among other factors, technology advances and cost reductions.

 

  (2) Cyclicality

 

  - The TFT-LCD business has high cyclicality as well as being a capital intensive business. In spite of the increase in demand for products, this industry has experienced periodic volatility caused by imbalances between demand and supply due to capacity expansion within the industry.

 

  - Intense competition and expectations of demand growth may lead panel manufacturers to invest in manufacturing capacity on similar schedules, resulting in a surge in capacity when production is ramped up at new fabrication facilities.

 

  - During such surges in capacity growth, our customers can exert and have exerted strong downward pricing pressure, resulting in sharp declines in average selling prices and significant fluctuations in our gross margins. Conversely, demand surges and fluctuations in the supply chain can lead to price increases.

 

  (3) Competitiveness

 

  - Our ability to compete successfully depends on factors both within and outside our control, including product pricing, performance and reliability, successful and timely investment and product development, success of our end-brand customers in marketing their brands and products, component and raw material supply costs, foreign exchange rate and general economic and industry conditions.


Table of Contents
  - Core competitiveness includes technology leadership, capability to design new products and premium products, timely investment in advanced fabs, cost leadership through application of large production lines, innovation of process and productivity, and collaborative customer relationships.

 

  - Most importantly, cost leadership and stable and long-term relationships with customers are critical to secure profit even in a buyer’s market.

 

  - A substantial portion of our sales is attributable to a limited group of end-brand customers and their designated system integrators. The loss of these end-brand customers, as a result of customers entering into strategic supplier arrangements with our competitors or otherwise, would thus result in reduced sales.

 

  - Developing new products and technologies that can be differentiated from those of our competitors is critical to the success of our business. We take active measures to protect our intellectual property internationally by obtaining patents and undertaking monitoring activities in our major markets. It is also necessary to recruit and retain the experienced key staffs and highly skilled line operators.

 

  (4) Sourcing material

 

  - Materials are sourced in-house (color filters) as well as from domestic and overseas vendors. Recently, the domestic portion has grown due to the active participation of domestic vendors.

 

  - The shortage of raw materials may arise temporarily due to the rapid increase in demand for raw materials resulting from capacity expansion in the TFT-LCD industry.

 

  - We have purchased, and expect to purchase, a substantial portion of our equipment from a limited number of qualified foreign and local suppliers. From time to time, increased demand for new equipment may cause lead times to extend beyond those normally required by the equipment vendors.

 

  (5) Others

 

  - Most TFT-LCD panel makers are located in Asia.

 

  a. Korea: LG.Philips LCD, Samsung Electronics (including a joint venture between Samsung Electronics and Sony Corporation), BOE-Hydis

 

  b. Taiwan: AU Optronics, Chi Mei Optoelectronics, CPT etc.

 

  c. Japan: Sharp, IPS-Alpha, etc.

 

  d. China: SVA-NEC, BOE-OT, etc.

  B. Company

 

  (1) Business overview

 

  - Commercial production for our TFT-LCD business began in September 1995 at P1, which was then the first fabrication facility of LG Electronics. At the end of 1998, LG Electronics and LG Semicon transferred their respective TFT-LCD related businesses to LG Soft Co., Ltd (currently LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd.). LG.Philips LCD became a joint venture between LG Electronics and Philips Electronics in August 1999. In July 2004, we completed our initial public offering and listed our common stock on the Korea Exchange and our ADSs on the New York Stock Exchange. As of September 30, 2007, we operate seven fabrication facilities located in Gumi and Paju, Korea, and six module facilities located in Gumi and Paju, Korea, Nanjing (3 factories), China and Wroclaw, Poland.

 

  - We became the first LCD maker in the world to commence commercial production at a 4th generation fab (P3) in July 2000 and at a 5th generation fab (P4) in March 2002, and we started mass production at our 6th generation fab (P6) in August2004, which allows us to produce LCD panels for large TVs and monitors. Following mass production at our 7th generation fab (P7) in January 2006, we became a panel maker who operates both 6th and 7th generation lines, which we believe will strengthen our position as a leader in the LCD TV market.

 

  - Our sales increased by 45.6% from KRW 2,730 billion in the third quarter of 2006 to KRW 3,975 billon in the third quarter of 2007 (our consolidated sales under Korean GAAP increased by approximately 42.6% from KRW 2,773 billion in the third quarter of 2006 to KRW 3,953 billion in the third quarter of 2007).

 

  - We recorded an operating income of KRW 709 billion in the third quarter of 2007 compared to an operating loss of KRW 384 billion in the third quarter of 2006. We recorded a net income of KRW 524 billion in the third quarter of 2007 compared to a net loss of KRW 321 billion in the third quarter of 2006 (we recorded a consolidated operating income under Korean GAAP of KRW 693 billion in the third quarter of 2007 compared to a consolidated operating loss of KRW 382 billion in the third quarter of 2006. Our consolidated net income (loss) amounts under Korean GAAP for the third quarter of 2006 and 2007, respectively, are the same as our non-consolidated net income (loss) amounts for the corresponding periods).

 

  - We reinforced our position as a leader in LCD technology with the world’s first 100-inch TFT-LCD panel and the development of a super-slim panel for mobile phones.

 

  - Moreover, we formed strategic alliances or entered into long-term sales contracts with major global firms such as Dell, HP and Kodak of the United States and Japan’s Toshiba, among others, to secure customers and expand partnerships for technology development.

 

  - Business area of the company for disclosure is limited to the LCD business.

  (4) New business

 

  - P7 in our Paju display cluster reached a production capacity of over 100,000 input sheets of glass substrate per month in the third quarter of 2007. We are currently reviewing an investment for the 8th generation of fabrication facilities in anticipation of growth in the TFT-LCD market.

 

  - In September 2005, we entered into an agreement to build a “back-end” module production plant in Wroclaw, Poland, becoming the first global LCD industry player to commence such a production facility in Europe. We broke ground on the plant in June 2006 and started mass production in March 2007.

 

  - In October 2006, we formed a strategic alliance with Toshiba Corporation whereby Toshiba would take a 19.9% equity participation in our subsidiary, LG.Philips LCD Poland Sp. zo.o., and LG.Philips LCD Poland Sp. zo.o. would supply Toshiba with a quantity of LCD TV panels produced at the plant in Poland.

 

  - In May 2006, we entered into an investment agreement with the Guangzhou Development District Administrative Committee to construct a module production plant in Guangzhou, China, and in June 2006, we established LG.Philips LCD Guangzhou Co., Ltd.

Report of Independent Accountants

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd.

We have reviewed the accompanying non-consolidated balance sheet of LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2007 and the related non-consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, and non-consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, and non-consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, expressed in Korean won. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these interim financial statements based on our reviews.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the semi-annual review standards established by the Securities and Futures Commission of the Republic of Korea. These standards require that we plan and perform our review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provides less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our reviews, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the non-consolidated interim financial statements referred to above are not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea.

We have audited the non-consolidated balance sheet of LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2006, and the related non-consolidated statements of operations, appropriations of retained earnings and cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of Korea. We expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements in our audit report dated February 13, 2007. These financial statements are not included in this review report. The non-consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006, presented herein for comparative purposes, is consistent, except for the application of the Statements of Korean Financial Accounting Standards No. 21, in all material respects, with the above audited balance sheet as of December 31, 2006.

Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers is the Korean member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers. PricewaterhouseCoopers refers to the network of member firms of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited, each of which is a separate and independent legal entity.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of its interim non-consolidated financial statements are same as those followed by the Company in its preparation of annual non-consolidated financial statements and are summarized below:

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The Company maintains its accounting records in Korean won and prepares statutory financial statements in the Korean language (Hangul) in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea. Certain accounting principles applied by the Company that conform with financial accounting standards and accounting principles in the Republic of Korea may not conform with generally accepted accounting principles in other countries. Accordingly, these financial statements are intended for use by those who are informed about Korean accounting principles and practices. The accompanying financial statements have been condensed, restructured and translated into English from the Korean language non-consolidated financial statements. Certain information attached to the Korean language financial statements, but not required for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flow, or changes in shareholders’ equity is not presented in the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported therein. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from those estimates.

Application of the Statements of Korean Financial Accounting Standards

The Korean Accounting Standards Board has published a series of Statements of Korean Financial Accounting Standards (SKFAS), which will gradually replace the existing financial accounting standards established by the Korean Financial Supervisory Commission. As SKFAS Nos. 18 through 20 became applicable to the Company on January 1, 2006, the Company adopted these Standards in its financial statements covering periods beginning January 1, 2006.

And as SKFAS Nos. 21 through 23, including No.11, became effective for the Company on January 1, 2007, the Company adopted these Standards in its financial statements as of and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007. However, the non-consolidated statement of change in shareholders’ equity is not presented comparatively in accordance with SKFAS No. 21.

14. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Ordinary income (loss) per share is computed by dividing ordinary income (loss) allocated to common stock, which is net income (loss) allocated to common stock as adjusted by extraordinary gains or losses, net of related income taxes, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Earnings (loss) per share for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, is calculated as follows:

 

    

For the three-month

periods ended September 30,

   

For the nine-month

periods ended September 30,

 
(in millions, except for per share amount)    2007    2006     2007    2006

   (Won) 524,231    (Won) (320,967 )   (Won) 584,119    (Won) (594,968 )

Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding

     358      358       358      358  
                              

Earnings (loss) per share

   (Won) 1,465    (Won) (897 )   (Won) 1,632    (Won) (1,663 )
                              

Prior to the issuance of convertible bonds on April 19, 2005, the Company had not issued any dilutive securities. Diluted loss per share is identical to basic loss per share as the Company recorded net loss during the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies followed by the Controlling Company and its consolidated subsidiaries in the preparation of its interim consolidated financial statements are same as those followed by the Controlling Company in its preparation of annual consolidated financial statements and are summarized below.

Basis of Consolidated Financial Statement Presentation

The Controlling Company maintains its accounting records in Korean won and prepares statutory financial statements in the Korean language (Hangul) in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea. Certain accounting principles applied by the Controlling Company that conform with financial accounting standards and accounting principles in the Republic of Korea may not conform with generally accepted accounting principles in other countries. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements are intended for use by those who are informed about Korean accounting principles and practices. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been condensed, restructured and translated into English from the Korean language consolidated financial statements. Certain information attached to the Korean language financial statements, but not required for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flow, or changes in shareholders’ equity is not presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported therein. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from those estimates.

Application of the Statements of Korean Financial Accounting Standards

The Korean Accounting Standards Board has published a series of Statements of Korean Financial Accounting Standards (SKFAS), which will gradually replace the existing financial accounting standards established by the Korean Financial Supervisory Commission. As SKFAS Nos. 18 through 20 became applicable to the Company on January 1, 2006, the Company adopted these Standards in its financial statements covering periods beginning January 1, 2006.

And as SKFAS Nos. 21 through 23, including No.11 and 25, became effective for the Company on January 1, 2007, the Company adopted these Standards in its financial statements as of and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007. However, the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity is not presented comparatively in accordance with SKFAS No. 21.

8. Stock Appreciation Plan

On April 7, 2005, the Company granted 450,000 shares of stock appreciations rights (“SARs”) to certain executives. Under the terms of this plan, the executives, upon exercising their SARs, are entitled to receive cash equal to the excess of the market price of the Company’s common stock over the exercise price of (Won)44,050 per share. The exercise price decreased from (Won)44,260 to (Won)44,050 due to the additional issuance of common stock in 2005. These SARs are exercisable starting April 8, 2008, through April 7, 2012. Additionally, when the increase rate of the Company’s share price is the same or less than the increase rate of the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (“KOSPI”) over the three-year period following the grant date, only 50% of the initially granted shares is exercisable.

The options activities under the SARs as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, consist of the following:

14. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Ordinary income (loss) per share is computed by dividing ordinary income (loss) allocated to common stock, which is net income (loss) allocated to common stock as adjusted by extraordinary gains or losses, net of related income taxes, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Earnings (loss) per share for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, is calculated as follows:

6. Stock Appreciation Plan

Effective January 1, 2005, the company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”). SFAS 123(R) establishes accounting for stock-based awards exchanged for employee services. SFAS No. 123(R) requires that an award that is classified as a liability to be initially measured at its grant date fair value and remeasured at fair value at the end of each reporting period until the award is settled or expires. The measurement is based on the current stock price and other relevant factors. The difference between the fair value amounts is recognized as compensation expense during the requisite service period, based on the percentage of the requisite service that the employee has rendered as of that date. In accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), compensation expense is remeasured at each reporting date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee requisite service period.

On April 7, 2005, the Company granted 450,000 shares of stock appreciations rights (“SARs”) for selected management employees. Under the terms of this plan, management, on exercise, receive cash equal to the amount that the market price of the Company’s common stock exceeds the strike price ((Won)44,050) of the SARs. The vesting period is two years starting from the grant date, and exercisable period is April 08, 2008 through April 07, 2012. As of September 30, 2007, 230,000 shares of previously granted SARs have been cancelled which leaves 220,000 SARs currently outstanding.

The following table shows total stock-based compensation expense included in the consolidated statement of income:

 

(in millions of Korean won)    September 30, 2006     September 30, 2007
